To take the OP literally, a Kawasaki Z650F2 with various bolt-on goodies.

First I could actually legally ride on the road, Suzuki ZR50X1 - possibly the slowest form of transportation ever designed by man.

2002 NSR125

It was restricted and 100% legit until I met some dodgy people from the internet. Shocked


I had a NSR125, restricted, as I found out when it cut out dead on the motorway after hitting just over 80 indicated.

Loved this bike, shame I literally ran it into the ground through inexperience.

I count 6 pictures in his post. That's just pictures, I didn't trawl the text to find if he mentioned any others. Unless I'm wrong, 6 is still twice as many as the three you mention.

One would presume this post is aimed at road riders, but if Tef (for example) were to start on a PY50, I'd expect him to either post the PY50, or his first road bike.

My first bike (trike) was a Piaggio MP3 125cc. I thought it was cool. I thought I was cool. I was wrong on both fronts.
Would I buy another one? Absolutely! It was one of the few bikes that I bought which didn't get nicked.

1977 CG125

Sounded great next to my mates' 2 strokes and went alright too. Newer ones certainly feel slower. I also crashed it about 5 times and it survived them all.

Mine was a Yamaha YB100, killer of Merc S Classes, economical City bike, which as a shame as I lived in the countryside and the electric lights had 2 settings, fag end and glow worm.

Gearbox was 4 straight down, it had autolube, a luggage rack, did over 90 to the gallon and had a top speed of over 60!

This was the first proper/modern bike I rode after the BSA Bantam field bike I’d had for a year or two.
It’s the bike that made me decide I had a future with motorbikes.
And the rest is history as they say.

Mine was a YBR 125 - it was only a few months before I got bored of the lack of power.

MK1 Bandit 600, got it mint about 3 years ago for a steal.

3 winters and 2 highsides later it's absolutely shagged (though I still rode it to work today), once I sort the brakes on the Sprint it's coming off the road for a restoration.

I learned a lot on that bike and besides it was a gift so I'm pretty much dedicated to not throwing it in the scrap heap (though it would be the sensible choice at this point), that things stuck with me for life I think!
